Bournemouth vs. Arsenal Match Preview: 20th round of the Premier League features Bournemouth hosting London Arsenal at the home "Dean Court". The arriving visitors are the bookies' certain favourites of the upcoming game, but there are several arguments in favour of the hosts. Firstly, the upcoming game is to be played on the Bournemouth pitch, who is historically the home team. Then "The Cherries" performed its 19th round match a day earlier than "The Gunners", so in terms of freshness the team of Eddie Howe has an slight advantage. And thirdly, there are serious doubts that the forthcoming fixture will not see one of the Arsenal's leaders Mesut Ozil put to the field because of the flu he has recently picked up, and such illness is not possibly dealt with in one day.
